HiYa Bobbie Jean...just wanted to check in to see how your mom is doing? How's her pt going? How is she feeling? Lots of caring & loving sharing here in these comments. I've really learned a lot & been encouraged. Being on a 'starving artist diet' has made for it's high protein low carbs (I miss my craisins & almonds, too) balancing challenges. It's all good because I get to remember how I used to eat & still try to be creatively healthy with what I am blessed with, especially through my dear friends. My salad the other day at my hosts' house was sheer delight...I hadn't had fresh vegetables like that in a while...yum, yum, yum :) I hope, BJ, you get something come through for work at home...I hear ya, I've had enough of the day to day office thing...not like I can't show up to them...but I am so much more efficient & productive when my primary activites are done within the flexibility of working from my home. I've been working hard on stuff here, trying to forge my way into a new, better for me realm - I just had my book idea solidify so I need time to do a little research & I finally got a time last night to sing for myself & my God...it felt so good. I'm heading with a 49ers friend tomorrow up to a small Catholic church in St. Ignatius, MT. She said the acoustics are phenomenal & so I wanna go test 'em out :) She wanted me to do so, too :) I always love singing in churches with those good acoustics, makes me sing better, louder, more passionately. But while I 've been working on so many good for me things, I've found it hasn't paid off financially yet, so I gotta find some way to dial into my already busy schedule some kind of work. I can't keep living this way...too much stress. So, after Monday...here I go again on my own...going down the only road I've ever known. I hope during the time that guy's been sick, your skills have improved and he'll give someone special, talented, and intelligent like you a 2nd look. You never know :) I'm hopin' for ya! Take Care!:)

TY MA - my protein wasn't by not having, it was from eating too much for too long. Had to reverse it a bit that's all, thankfully. The protein was for talking a few pounds off, but that is very sweet your words of encouragement and for that I thank you. :) Everything will work out eventually, by the Grace of God, thank God :)
Have a beautiful day Montana Anna :)

Tell her not to forget the carbs but go light on them. Carbs are the only thing our brains can immediately utilize for energy because protein eventually breaks down to glucagon which is not able to be used by the brain. Also you have to have a good balance of protein to carbs because all protein will shut the kidneys down. Everyone's ratio is different dependant on body fat, height, wt, metabolism, and amount of activity.

ik God is great, but it's things like this that just leave me in "Wow"... I am sitting here w/ the biggest headache and read your post here and realized, yep. I've been on a protein, limited at that too, but protein diet this week and so read, this, ate a bagel, and already my headache is lifting... WOW... all smiles :) TY RJ
btw - I am going to be trying to get something I can do from home. I don't think I can make myself do the office thing again day in and out. I have 14 yrs employee benefit experience, not ever had a case come back from home office, had the best loss ratios, the highest earnings and the best customer satisfaction for office at first, then ranked 1st in all that SE regional, 3rd unfortunately, (by a few pts :( ), on the national level. If you or your company have a spot that I may be of help, please keep me in mind. Let me know should that ever happen and I can email resume'. This other company is good, and the guys won't make a decision on who to hire until he meets with me ( he's been out sick). Only God knows why, he doesn't know me from adam. But my concern is it involves selling which I ranked the same ( they made us underwriters sell for a few years), but in sales when you need a mng decision to over ride something standard, you need a quick reply and even before this fella got sick, that just wasn't happening. So, that is a negative from the gitgo on a sales reps stance. Just keep me in mind if you would.
Have a great day! :)
ps - earning needs to be 50-70K, unless it could be part time or evening hours or at least flexible hours. TY :)

Glad to hear you mom is doing well. Her taking such good care of her pts is probably the reason she is doing so well. Both in karma and physically. The key is to keep moving, water and protein. If you quit moving you lose muscle, lose muscle your body can't hold water and hydrate and muscle deteriorates which is a vicious cycle. Protein builds muscle which holds the vital water and keeps our bodies going. Glad to hear she's doing well.

TY Adena - let me tell ya on the way to the show last night, focus is exactly what I needed. It literally took me an hr just to get out of Charlotte, should have been a few minutes since I live on the SC line. What a mess that snow. Usually I to see it fall, from inside the house :) I was talking w/ Shirlee on the phone I said, is that a snow flake??? then, it was bam, couldn't see the road in front of me. I was praying for sure. On the way home they must have gotten roads salted, cause they were dry as a bone, thank God! :)
Hope you and your Family are all well and life is leaving you w/ smiles:)

Fingers crossed Bobbie. Sent you and she tons of love and prayers. You are right, if the pt is coming tomorrow AOK.

Sat, 02/09/2013 - 2:40pm — Bobbie Jean_2

pt - Physical therapy - you are right. This was an older post and I realized I didn't give the good news. On the PT they did good, for two weeks then Mom fired them. Well, she said, "ok, you don't need to come back now." I said that's find Mom... as long as you do those exercises and keep going, cause you had a quick improvement and now you know they work. Otherwise, they get called and they come back." I added I wasn't being mean, that Mom worked in a nursing home for 16 years, had the hardest wing although she was the tiniest one on staff. Her patients always got rated the best during state reviews. But, I said Mom you see what happens to the body when you don't move it... you know what they say move it or loose it and there is truth and I explained that I wanted her to have her independence back. It's time!

Thank you Lady! Appreciate it more than you know! pt coming tomorrow, im not real sure what that is, sorry. I've so much on my to do list right now, my head is spinning a little. Another reason to clean, clears the mind. When I lived by myself, my friends actually tried to do an intervention. They thought b/c I had everything exactly where it was suppose to be in my apartment, including coasters :)... and my car looked like new and smelled too, that I had some kinda cleaning disorder. I's like look, that's called organized and there is nothing wrong with being organized. Now that I always have Family, which I do love not coming home to an empty house/ vehicle lets just say that's not the case. Getting it back there though... :)))

So happy to hear she's doing well!!! Thanks for keeping us in the loop...we care...and we pray :) Ahhh, a woman after my own heart...cleaning does clear the mind and, no, I don't have a disorder either :) lol :) I'm an organized gal...used to even have an organized junk drawer :) lol :) Really no disorder, Anna? Nope :) Not so much of recent due to a few cyclone-type situations, but I'm makin' it back, baby, I'm makin' it back :) You go girl, and take good care of yourself!!!

Sat, 02/09/2013 - 8:56pm — Bobbie Jean_2

Thanks Anna! I just figure we all hear about the bad news and it's cool, folks can support each other, prayer, laughter, encouragement, sharing knowledge if they had gone through something similiar or what have you.
Back to cleaning in a few... have a great night! :)))

That sounds great! It is hard sometimes to bounce back. Glad she is...it ain't like when you are younger. Sounds like she has a good base of support hanging around her to me though! Hope she continues to mend...be patient as well. Deal with a lot of geriatrics myself in my work. Allow her more time to do things, don't rush, and for love of God don't put any undue stress on her...make sure she eats right and her fluids are right for her condition. If i knew what her condition was i would guide you through that...

Thanks Ajay - that is a lot of wonderful advise. Fluids were concern til heart tests came back, but so far they are all clear! thank God!!! Well, as our friends head on down to Tulsa, I am gonna start cleaning house, yeah fun day. Seriously, I love cleaning and standing back when it's all done and going ahhhh!!! Feels good... :) Hey don't laugh, it's the simple things in life!

Sometimes it is nice to clean just to admire how nice your house looks once it is clean. I sometimes grumble as i do it but i love the results! Like i say depends on the heart condition as far as the treatment goes...Glad she is doing well!

Sun, 02/10/2013 - 2:16pm — Bobbie Jean_2

true on the cleaning, I love that feeling of everything being finished and then that ahhhh feeling; like you said when you get to stand back and look. :) and thanks smiles for Mom's / the Family's good news too!

I have been dealing with my parents' health issues for the past three years so I can understand the stress you are under Bobbie Jean. Don't forget to take care of yourself, too. I'm glad your mom is doing well. You are a good daughter.
